can see lots of haze in the air as we had poor air quality but fortunately the air quality conditions will be improving over the next few days as we have a couple of weather systems rolling through the bay area mixing up the atmosphere and we're also looking at some onshore winds bringing them low clouds for tonight into the bay. that view earlier, this is a live view from sfo, so we'll continue to see the low clouds filter into the bay, for tomorrow low clouds in the morning clearing out about 10:00 but then increasing high clouds since the afternoon as the second weather system arrives for tomorrow. the first one impacted southern california and this one will impact northern california and bring in the chance for showers coming up on tuesday but she light and scattered activity as you

100,000 medical calls in 2013; however, an astonishing 20,000 of those calls were to a group of people known as frequent fliers. our stanley roberts explains exactly what a frequent flier is in this edition of people behaving badly. >> reporter: san francisco fire department medic 96 is responding to a report of a man unconscious and not breathing on market street. but they aren't the only ones to respond. two other fire engines were also arriving at the location just outside. they find a man slumped over and quickly determined it is a possible drug overdose and administer a drug to counter the overdose. then, they wait for the drug to take effect. what they find in his pocket is a half a bottle of vodka, but a half a bottle of alcohol is only half the problem. it turns out he had taken quite a bit of other meds including methadone. >> how much do you take a day? >> 170. >> 170? >> he also took two anti- seizure pills he bought off the street to boost a high and two valium pills. >> that's a lot of medicine now that he's awake he wants medic 96 to take him home. >> it's not an option. >> then he asks, he was taken to st. francis hospital where it was determined he was there just the day before for the exact same reason. this man is also considered a frequent flier. in fact he's still wearing his wrist band issued by the hospital from the day before. apparently he also checked himself out of ucsf two days before for a condition paramedics never heard of. but now he wants to go back to ucsf more than three miles away. and despite the fact that st. francis hospital is only three blocks away so paramedic 96 has to take him there. paramedics just can't look the other way when they get an emergency call. they have to respond and offer assistance even if they know the person is abusing the system. for the record every tomb a medic has to respond to a call that involves a frequent flier, it costs san francisco taxpayers thousands of dollars, and takes one more medic wagon out of service to handle a true emergency. in san francisco, stanley roberts, kron4 news. >> if you have a comment or a story idea for stanley, e-mail us at peoplebehavingbadly@kron4.com. coming
